Attention to the neighbourhood
PostNL mail and parcel deliverers visit every street every day. They know the residents, wave or have a chat on the street and at the door. Has a local resident had a baby? Or is it someone's birthday? Then our delivery people often pop a card in the post. And if they are worried because they notice something isn't right with someone, they can voluntarily and anonymously report this to local welfare organisations.
Presence in the neighbourhood
PostNL deliverers visit every street every day. This means we can deliver special mail or parcels for charities. For example, we deliver birthday packages for Stichting Jarige Job, letters to Sinterklaas, and Christmas cards for the National Foundation for the Elderly. We also support the annual children's stamp campaign by Stichting Kinderpostzegels
Involvement with the Neighbourhood
Many PostNL employees volunteer in addition to their work. Each year, they can request a donation for the association or foundation where they volunteer. With these donations, we make things possible that wouldn't be achievable otherwise. In this way, we provide support to those who need it.
Together, we delivered birthday happiness
Your gift brought smiles to so many faces. The campaign with Stichting Jarige Job has come to an end – and what a success it was! A great number of gifts were donated. Together, we help give children whose families can’t afford a celebration a birthday they’ll never forget. Thank you for taking part!
